Being controlled.

There was someone who I loved very much. He used to be the sweetest, most caring person I knew. Everything was going good. Then all the sudden, he just became so controlling. I think he was finally getting so comfortable with me, he thought he'd try to just push me around. It hurt so much because I never thought he could be that low. As much as I did not want to let him go, I realize I had to. I can't keep taking chances and keep getting hurt over and over again.
Have you ever been in a controlling relationship that you had to force yourself to get out of?

Yes my first boyfriend that i was with for 5 years used to be this way. He was the greatest guy for about the first three years and then he started cheating on me and hitting me. He was very abusive and controlling both physically as well as mentally! It is always best to just get out of a relationship such as this!!!

It is really a bad attitude. Love do not teach to control over ur partner by physical means or mentally. It is just do all thing that ur partner like. Do not press ur partner to do what u like. It is not the love. It is just the wish to dominate to the other. It is much better to leave that person.

That is a big problem with relationships, whenever persons become over possessive and demanding things start suffocating and you have no other option left to quit.Yes once I had a best friend and he wanted that I should do everything after asking him for permission which was simply ridiculous on his part, so finally I had to quit one day.

He is now possessive with u which shows that nutshell in which he is webbed on.... Talk in a decent fashion otherwise its our feelings for somebody to whom we are stuck..... show him the door we are not living in damn societies where such narrow approach is welcomed.

I was in a relationship where they really tried to control me. They tried to break me down to a point where they could really get at me, but we butted heads a lot. They got very frustrated and I got frustrated with the way I was being treated so I ended it.

I was 15 when I met a guy that was in his 20s. (Now that I am in my 20s I see how screwed up that was but I had issues at 15) I was with him until I was 20 and the whole time he was emotionally abusive and that turned physical when I was 18 and we moved in together. As I got older I realized it was wrong but didnt know how to stop it. I eventually had to go to the police to get him to leave me alone and I had to stay at a freinds house where he didnt know I was to get away from him. I still see him around sometimes and we dont even speak. I am a much stronger person now but seeing him gives me the creeps and makes me feel powerless. I attended a workshop for abused women after I had my daughter and it wa shelpful to sort out the hate, resentment and confidence issues that the relationship had put upon me. I still have times that I feel poorly about myself, but it has improved so much especially since I found a partner that boosts my confidence instead of squashing it.
